Trying to reconnect!!
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi folks...I sure hope someone is reading this as I'm feeling somewhat invisible right now!
I had joked before that at some point I felt I'd crossed over into the Twilight zone....I didn't realize how prolific I was!! I REALLY feel in the zone right now, or at the very least, lost in cyber space!
I'm struggling BIG TIME right now and till now didn't realize just how important you all have become to me!
If anyone out there could help me reconnect, please let me know and I'll keep fingers crossed (if they're not too stiff) that my notifications resume!
Thinking about everyone!

Hi Lynda, this PMR journey is a lonely journey, you look normal, people just do not understand, but hang in there, try to stay active, positive and smile it will help. You get through it! 🙂

That's so true! I do look the ssme as always, ( maybe not moving quite the same
), but that does indeed make it hard for people to understand!
My oldest daughter wants me to go to a huge "pumpkin patch" (so fun) next week, and I can't quite get her to understand that as much as I'd love to do it, I just CAN'T! She says "mom you'll be fine, we'll walk slow and take our time"....ughhh...here comes the "guilts".

give it a try. you can always go to the car for rest. stop keeping yourself from being a part of the community and isolating yourself....climb the mountain instead of being stopped by the mole hill. If you don't try you will wast away muscle tone will be gone and if you want to come back you will have much to build up again. Don't let yourself slip away by thinking I CAN'T...say instead I will and do your best. Think of the smile on your daughter's face and put one on yours too.
“You cannot get an A if you’re afraid of getting an F.” (Quincy Jones) Live dangerously just hear your body and give it rest when required...I sometimes take two naps a day and fall asleep at TV in the evening...then go to bed andsleep like a log....I am currently with PMR GCA and at 25mg pred. Started 1.5 years ago at 100. There is hope as I know a few people who have been freed from PMR and GCA. Lets hope we a one of them. Keep the faith and get out to keep moving. All the best. Positive attitude will carry you far.

Lynda, we have to know our limits, I am a fine one to talk! I am always pushing myself too hard and paying for it. I have now hurt myself a tear in my left labrum. Go to a sports doctor this week. Be smarter than me don't over do it. We have to stay positive, active and try to smile, I most say this has not been one of my smartest moves.

Lynda, I was just trying to build up my leg muscles riding my bicycle, but I over did it. Now I am just hobbling around losing more muscles. I hoping I haven't ruined my ski season. Not too active, still positive with a dumb smile
🙂

Well if you ski....you surely are a step ahead of me! I've skied one time and nearly ended up taking a nose dive into the stream at the bottom of the slope😝!
Really too bad as I live about 4hrs away from what I consider to be one of the most beautiful places on earth....LAKE TAHOE!!

Oh, Lynda I love the Lake Tahoe area when we were moving to the SW that was my first choice. Some great ski areas around the lake and the scenery is breathtaking. We are now settled in NM and I have job offers from 2 ski areas to teach this winter, if I can just get moving. Doctor on Thursday May give some insight. Stay well, keep moving, but don't follow my example. You got smile! ??

Agreed about lake Tahoe....it is, indeed, breathtaking! The mountains, the lake, but most of all....the glorious TREES! Omg...makes me smile just to think of! 😁

And great ski areas, the snow a bit heavy, but I don't care. Neither one of our football teams are doing that great, sorry about the QB! Well as an old NE sport's fan, wait till next year!
You gotta smile! 🙂😄

U hope you're able to get your "ski legs" going....sounds like great job opportunities ahead!
Please keep me posted on how you're doin'. A busy week ahead w/appts, very nervous. I guess I'll be finding out about eye surgery possibilities....

Lynda, being a NE sports fan for years our saying was wait till next year. We ever know, let us know your status. I will post to you. Thursday is my big day, going to see sports doctor, who will look at the MRI. Hopefully I will get a good report. Good luck, think positive, smile. The tops of our mountains are white. Thinking positive for a great ski season! 🙂

Lynda, yes things are crazy with me. So i put a tear in my labrum riding my bicycle, but the doctors are saying that i also hurt my back and the pains in my legs is being caused by back problems. I only hope they figure this out so I can get some relief. This no sleeping and pain is almost enough to stop me from smiling, but I am still smiling and thinking positive about a great ski season. But i must admit not too active.
My Red Sox just made it to the World Series again, I do miss going to Fenway Park, a real great old place. Try to get that smile on. 😉

hey michdonn...congrats on your red's trip to the Series!!
I'm so sorry to hear if your latest injury....
I'm also sorry this took so long to get back to you! Still having Major Problems w/this forum/format.....
notifications are so INCREDIBLY screwed up!
Most times I just randomly stumble across these posts....not an effective way to communicate AT ALL! And given the "funk" I'm in right now, I could really use the support on what seems to be s Very Quiet weekend for me...😭💆

Hi Lynda, yes this forum format is causing us user problems, but it is not the first time, we have to hang in there and get through it. The 49s play the Rams this weekend, well that might not be much fun for a 49er fan, but you never know, there are always surprises.
Good luck hope the 49ers pull off an upset. Try to be positive with a smile.🙂
